Because that's a distraction from the unprecedented strife and corruption home and abroad brought on by the current and relevent leadership every single day. Just admit you want to evoke past abuses and damages to distract from and downplay the war crimes, moral crimes, and plain old crimes committed by the tRump republicans right now that demand account and action. The best you have to offer is "whatabout 10 years ago??" right now? Sit the fuck down. People KNOW about those issues, but they actually cannot go change them, because that's THE PAST. Yes they matter, but not more than the country and maybe also world burning in a heap of shambles as we speak. So, quite frankly, there's no time for your bullshit, get the fuck out of here.
This would be more convincing if you all weren't doing the same thing during the Biden administration
